How to Wire Multiple TVs to One Direct Receiver

DirecTV satellite receivers typically have one connection output, allowing you to hook up one television at a time. However, if you are looking to wire multiple TVs to a single DirecTV receiver, it is possible with the aid of a channel splitter. This splitter splits the satellite signal from one output to two or more. This is especially helpful if you don't want to pay the extra funds for additional satellite receivers.
